Lanktree turned Lantry

What I have been told was that Barnabas who would have been my great great grandfather was the father of Francetta,who was the unwed mother of my paternal grandfather Kenneth Charles Lanktree. Grandfather married Hilda McCaffrey my grandmother,and they had 5 children of whom my father is the remaining one. The area is bordering Quebec and I don't know if they migrated down, but I don't have any recollection of any family members being of french canadian background. I do hazily recall my grandfathers funeral guests and some Irish accents. We were shown where Grandfather was supposed to have been born. It is on the the Canadian side of the border. There are Lanktree geneologists in Ontario, Doris and I can't recall the husbands name at present. But,they have a reunion, and would be interested to talk to you, and share some background. I hope you have checked back in since last August, and if you see this please write.

Sincerely,Susan DeMatteo

Re: Lantry

My grandfather, Hubert Lantry, had a brother named Charles. My Hubert lived in Hogansburg, born-1896 died-1977 are we talking about the same family? any information would be appreciated. Just starting my background my father is 73 but still may be able to shed some additional light.

Re: Lanktree turned Lantry

Saw your message posted in reply to Kevin Kelly. I am dis-tantly related to Kevin. We have a common 5th great grand-father, Barnaby Lantry of Caheragh, Co. Cork. I am descended from his son, Charles, the only son to stay inIreland, and Kevin is descended from his son, Thomas, whoemigrated to upstate New York in the 1820's, along withhis brothers, Joshua, Barnaby, John & Henry. They settledin the area around Helena & Brasher Falls, in St. LawrenceCo. Contact me if you think this is your family. I'll send youmy information.

Re: Lantry

My great great grandmother was Juliana Lantry (Lanktree),who was born in 1851 in Inchigeelagh, Co. Cork. Her fatherwas Thomas Lanktree. Thomas' father was Charles Lantry.Charles' father was Barnaby Lantry. Charles was the onlyson of Barnaby's to stay in Ireland. His other sons, Joshua,Barnaby, Thomas, John & Henry all emigrated to upper NewYork State in the 1820's & settled in the area around Helena& Brasher Falls in St. Lawrence Co. The Lantry family wasoriginally from England & they came to Ireland with Cromwell.I have records going back to 1690 & my 7th great-grandfatherJoshua Lantry who was born in Caheragh, Co. Cork. Thefamily was originally Church of Ireland, but when BarnabyLantry married Hanoria O'Leary from Inchigeelagh, he allowedhis children to be raised Catholic & eventually converted him-self. So if your Lantrys are Catholic chances are this is yourfamily. As far as I know this is the only branch of Lantrysthat are Catholic. Let me know if you think this is your family& I'll send you my information.

Re: Lantry

My great great grandmother was Juliana Lantry (Lanktree)born in 1851 in Inchigeelagh, Co. Cork. Her father wasThomas Lanktree (he used this spelling). Thomas' fatherwas Charles Lantry of Inchigeelagh & Dunmanway, Co. Cork. Charles' father was Barnaby Lantry, who was bornin Caheragh, Co. Cork. Charles was the only son to stayin Ireland. All of Barnaby's other sons, Thomas, John,Joshua, Barnaby & Henry all emigrated to upstate NewYork in the 1820's & settled around the area known asHelena & Brasher Falls in St. Lawrence Co. The Lantryfamily was originally from England & came to Ireland in1650 with Cromwell. They stayed, married Irish girls & weregenerally well off. The family was originally Church of Ireland,but my 5th great grandfather, Barnaby Lantry, married HanoriaO'Leary of Inchigeelagh & allowed his children to be raisedCatholic & he eventually converted himself. As far as I knowthis is the only branch of the Lantrys that are Catholic. Ifyour family is Catholic, then you are probably connected somehow. The family is all over the world - hardly any Lantrys are left in Cork today - they went to England, America, Canada, South America (Argentina & Brazil) & New Zealand. If you think this is the family, contact me & I'll send you my information. Good Luck!

Re: Lanktree turned Lantry

My great great grandfather was also Barnabas and Franketta was the unwed mother of my grandfather Enoch Arden Lanktree who move to Windsor Ontario and married Anne Tay my grandmother. They had three children. Charles Keith Lanktree was my father who died in 1971. I was born in Windsor but now reside in Ottawa, Ontario. The rest of my siblings live in southwest Ontario. I would be interested in any information on Barnabas and his connection back to Ireland.
